1. UL 325 And Gate Operators

1.1 What Is UL?

Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., a non-profit organization established in 1894, is self-described as “the leading third-party certification organization in the United States and the largest in North America.” UL’s primary stated mission is “to evaluate products in the interest of public safety.” Note that while UL declares it is the “leading” third-party certification, it is not the only one. There are other testing laboratories and certification organizations in the United States.

1.2 Development Of UL-325

The first edition of UL-325 was released in 1973. That edition was primarily focused on the electric operation of garage doors and did not contain provisions for gates. After federal laws were enacted in the early 1990’s, citing the provisions of UL-325 as applicable to garage door operation, DASMA members of the gate operator industry initiated the inclusion of electric gate operator provisions in UL-325. Some government agencies and other interested groups have monitored the standard’s progress and have provided input on the final format of the provisions of the standard that relate to gate operators.

1.3 Overview Of UL-325 And Gates

Highlights of UL-325 include the following: • A glossary which defines each type of operator • Different “classes” of gate operators • Entrapment1 protection criteria for each “class” of operator • Entrapment alarm criteria • Requirements for gate construction and installation • Instructional requirements placing increased responsibility on installers

A key part of the UL-325 standard is a table that summarizes the entrapment device options for different classes of operators of the various types of gates included in the standard. The table, labeled “Table 31.1”, is reproduced here from the 5th edition of the Standard for Safety for Door, Drapery, Gate, Louver, and Window Operators and Systems, UL-325. It is reprinted with the permission of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. Refer to the table as you read about the provisions that are described in the following sections. 1. In this document, “entrapment” is defined as “the condition when an object is caught or held in a position that increases the risk of injury.”



PROTECTION AGAINST ENTRAPMENT

GATE OPERATOR CATEGORY Horizontal Slide

VERTICAL LIFT VERTICAL PIVOT

SWING GATE VERTICAL BARRIER (ARM)

VEHICULAR USAGE CLASS

PRIMARY TYPE SECONDARY TYPE

Class I & II A B1,B2 or D A or C A,B1,B2,C or D Class III A,B1 or B2 A,B1,B2,D or E A,B1,B2 or C A,B1,B2,C,D or E Class IV A,B1,B2 or D A,B1,B2,D or E A,B1,B2,C or D A,B1,B2.C,D or E

NOTE: The same type of device shall not be utilized for both the primary and secondary entrapment protection means. Use of a single device to cover both the openings and closing directions is in accordance with this requirement; however, a single device is not required to cover both directions. A combination of one Type B1 for one direction and one Type B2 for the other direction is the equivalent of one device for the purpose of complying with the requirements of either the primary or secondary entrapment protection means. Entrapment protection types: Type A - Inherent entrapment sensing system. See 31.1.5 TypeB1 - Provision for connection of, or supplied with, a non-contact sensor (photoelectric sensor or the equivalent). See 31.1.6-31.1.9. Type B2 - Provision for connection of, or supplied with, a contact sensor (edge device or equivalent). See 31.1.7 and 31.1.10 - 31.1.12. Type C - Inherent adjustable clutch or pressure relief device. See 31.1.13. Type D - Provision for connection of, or supplied with, an actuating device requiring continuous pressure to maintain opening or closing motion of the gate. See 31.1.14 and 31.1.15. Type E - An inherent audio alarm. See 31.1.16, 31.1.17 and 31.1.18.

This table is re-created from the 5th edition of the Standard for Safety for door, drapery, gate, louver, and Window Operators and Systems, UL-325, and is reprinted with permission of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.

1.4 Gate Operator Classifications

Four distinct types of classifications have been established: • Class I: Residential usage, covering one to four single-family dwellings. • Class II: Commercial usage where general public access is expected; a common application would be a public parking lot or gated community. • Class III: Industrial usage where limited access is expected; one example is a ware- house property entrance not intended to serve the general public. • Class IV: Restricted access; this includes applications such as a prison entrance that is monitored either in person or via closed circuit television.

Gate speed shall be no greater than 1 foot per second in Class I and II applications.

Figure 2 Contact Sensor Detail



2. Effect On Installation These provisions will have several effects on gate and fence dealers:

• Gate and fence dealers should look for an indication of the Class of each operator, which will be specified by the gate operator manufacturer. • Fence dealer sales personnel must match the site application with the Class of operator. The gate operator manufacturer should be contacted if there is any question about the site application. • Both primary and secondary safety devices must be provided and matched to both the operator and site conditions. Although the gate operator manufacturer may provide or specify these devices, the gate/fence dealer should insure that they are installed and correctly matched. Any questions again should be directed to the gate operator manufacturer. • Warning signs must be permanently affixed to the gate panel. UL-325 includes specific requirements on the format, content, and placement of these signs.

2.1 Factors Related To Gate Construction And Instal lation

• Vehicular gate operators should ONLY be used on vehicular gates and never pedestrian gates. • A sliding gate should work smoothly with easy rolling/movement in both directions, with all exposed pinch points eliminated or guarded, prior to the installation of the operator. • Controls should be as far away from the gate as possible to prevent “reach-through” occurrences. • All openings of the horizontal slide gate must be guarded and screened from the bottom of the gate to a minimum of 4’ above the ground to prevent a 2 1/4” diameter sphere from passing through the openings anywhere in the gate, and in that portion of the adjacent fence that the gate covers in the open position. • A minimum of 2 warning signs and placards must be installed and be visible in the area of the gate. • All high and low voltage wire runs must comply with local electrical codes.

2.2 Device-Specific Installation Instructions

There are also specific installation requirements for certain types of entrapment protection devices. These specific requirements emphasize the care and attention that each device must be given prior to and during installation. For gate operators utilizing non-contact sensor devices (Type B1), instructions should be consulted for placement for each application, care should be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, and one or more of these devices must be installed where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists. For gate operators utilizing contact sensor devices (Type B2), several requirements are spelled out in UL-325. One or more contact sensors shall be located:



• at the leading edge, the trailing edge, and also post-mounted both inside and outside of, a vehicular horizontal slide gate; • at the bottom edge of a vehicular vertical slide gate; and • at the entrapment point of a vehicular vertical pivot gate.

A wired contact sensor shall be located, and its wiring arranged, so that communication between sensor and gate operator is not subjected to mechanical damage. A wireless contact sensor shall be located where the transmission of the signals is not obstructed or impeded by building structures, natural landscaping, or similar obstructions, and shall function under the intended end use conditions. For operators utilizing continuous pressure activating device (type D), controls must be placed so that the user has full view of the gate area when the gate is moving. A placard must be placed adjacent to the controls and no other activation devices shall be connected. Most importantly, an automatic closing device shall not be employed.

2.3 Statements In Manufacturer’s Instructions Conce rning Installation

Gate and fence dealers can expect to see in gate operator instructions the following statements: 1. The operator must be appropriate for the construction of the gate and the usage class of

the gate. The appropriate primary and secondary safety devices to be used are a major consideration to support this requirement.

2. All openings of a horizontal slide gate, and the portion of the fence where the slide gate passes, must be guarded or screened. These specific requirements in UL-325 that govern this provision were developed to address “reach-through” occurrences. For example, slide gates must have a protective cover 48 inches in height extending from the bottom of the gate/fence panel.

3. All exposed entrapment points must be eliminated or guarded. It is up to the individual gate and fence dealers to identify these points on a product-by-product basis, or on a job-by-job basis.

4. Guarding must be supplied for exposed rollers. Exposed rollers are regarded as potential pinch points.

2.4 Gate And Fence Dealer Documentation Suggestions

In dealing with the effects of the new provisions, here are some suggestions gate and fence dealers may consider to expand their documentation of gate projects. One possibility is to visually document, either via photography or videotape, the complete gate installation including applicable signs and labels, and the owner receiving the instruction manual from the installer. Other options could include the development and use of an installation checklist, a consumer sign-off form, and a service/preventative maintenance contract.



3. LXL Operator Models And Features 3.1 General Description

B&B ARMR’s model LXL hydraulic sliding gate operator is designed to reliably operate many styles of sliding gates, including overhead track, ground track, and cantilever style gates. Our LXL series of operators are designed to operate in all four UL-325 classes of operators. The operator is unobtrusive in appearance, yet durable under heavy use. The design of the LXL Series incorporates numerous features intended to improve safety, maintain security, increase reliability and reduce maintenance. The operator actuates the gate by two rotating wheels (the LXLR uses an idler wheel and pinion gear). A drive rail bolted to the gate is drawn between the two drive wheels. The wheels are spring loaded against the drive rail to produce a positive friction feed in both directions. Spring loading the wheels also serves to correct for wheel wear. The drive wheels are rotated by series-connected hydraulic motors to minimize uneven rotation between the wheels. Rotation direction is determined by the hydraulic valve system, not by the rotational direction of the electric motor. Independence from the electric motor rotation has the advantage that the direction of gate travel can be instantly reversed without the use of brakes. Also, the hydraulic valve, when not energized, rests in the neutral position. This effectively locks the hydraulic system, drive wheels, and the gate in the stopped position. Controls operate on safe and reliable 24VDC regulated voltage.

3.2 LXL Operator Features

The LXL hydraulic slide gate operator incorporates the following features and options: • Designed to meet UL-325 Class I-IV. • Inherent entrapment sensing on all units • Simple user interface utilizes a 12x4 character LCD display • User-Programmable right-hand to left-hand conversion; no hose swapping required • Delay on reverse standard • 24VAC and 24VDC auxiliary control power • Low maintenance - No sprockets, chains, or pulleys to adjust • Built-in, fully adjustable maximum run and auto close timers • Soft start / soft stop (option) • Plug-in loop detectors (option) • Hand-operated, quick release drive system for manual operation • Master/slave capability • Interlocking capability • Proximity limit switches eliminate false tripping due to misaligned drive rail

7. Secondary Safety Devices Connecting safety devices to the secondary safety connectors will stop the gate on the detection of the safety and proceed in the event of clearing the safety. To reverse the gate on the event of a safety, you must connect the safety device to the loopsafe terminal on connector 3.

*Note: The ROAD and BACK connections are normally open connections UL Approved Secondary Safety Devices: Miller Edge - manufacturer of contact sensors for all types of gates (800-220-EDGE). website: http://www.milleredge.com EMX Industries - manufacturer of non-contact sensors for gates (800-426-9912). website: http:// www.emxinc.com

IMPORTANT NOTE: UL 325 approved secondary safety devices MUST be used for the gate installation to comply with the requirements of UL 325. Refer to the UL approved manufacturer’s documentation for proper installation of secondary safety devices.



8. Master Slave Connections

�� 10 conductors required for master / slave connection between operators (16-18

gauge wire), plus 4 for safety devices �� Each operator must be programmed separately �� Secondary safety devices must be connected to their respective operators for

proper operation, and to ensure UL 325 compliance



9. Other Device Connections



10. Maintenance Here is a list of items that should be checked on a routine basis.

2.1 Hardware / Drive Wheels

�� Check for normal wheel wear - Look for cracks or pieces of the wheel tread that may have worn or broken off. The drive wheels require periodic replacement under normal service when the wheels become out-of-round or have cracked. Over tightening of the wheel clamping spring will shorten the wheel life.

�� Check for loose or broken fasteners - This check should also include the fasteners on the gate panel. A broken fastener on the gate panel could cause undue stress on the operator. Also, inspect the anchor bolts that hold the gate operator in position. While inspecting these bolts, check for signs the operator has “walked” out of its original mounting position

�� Cycle test the operator - Run the gate through several cycles to confirm that there is no binding of the gate panel and that the drive rail is properly aligned with the gate operator. Also, monitor the wheels for slippage. If the wheels slip, tighten down on the spring adjustment nut until no slippage occurs during normal gate travel. Tighten the spring only enough to eliminate slippage during normal travel.

2.2 Hydraulic System

�� Remove the vent cap and check the hydraulic fluid level -The vent cap is located on the reservoir assembly (bottom right of the operator). After removing the vent plug, a visual inspection should show the fluid level no more than 1” below the vent plug. If fluid needs to be added, use Envirologic EL132 hydraulic fluid. Other available hydraulic fluids are: Texaco Aircraft Oil #15 Mobil DTE 24

IMPORTANT NOTE: All B&B ARMR operators ship with Envirologic EL132 hydraulic fluid. If another hydraulic fluid is substituted; the existing fluid must be drained to avoid mixing. Never mix hydraulic fluids!

�� Check for leaks in the hydraulic system - This includes the hydraulic lines, reservoir and fittings. Leakage may occur in the fittings after a period use. If this happens, moderate tightening of the hose fittings should stop the leakage. If the leak persists, replace the leaking hose assembly.

2.3 Electronic Components

�� Check for loose or frayed wires - Carefully inspect all input and output connections to ensure all wires are seated properly in the terminal blocks. A loose or frayed wire can create different “phantom” problems.



�� Check gate input devices for proper operation - These devices include push buttons, keypads, loops, etc. An improperly functioning input device could give the impression the gate operator is malfunctioning.

�� Test all safety devices for proper operation - Test the inherent safety to ensure

the gate reverses after coming in contact with an obstruction. Adjust the hydraulic pressure by following step 12 in the Installation and Programming section of this manual.



11. Appendix ** Note: There are some changes in the drawing below. Standard speed setup is shown. For high speed and rack and pinion users please note that these item numbers are different: Number 31 will be XHYD-103-1572 for standard and high speed units Number 31 will be 0050-RS-1001010 for rack and pinion units Number 9 will be XHYD-M406-0103 for high speed units *Also, note for electrical components such as transformers or motors your voltage and phase may change the part number required

12. Troubleshooting The table below provides a general guidance on identifying and correcting any problems with your LXL Series gate operator. If you encounter problems that you cannot fix, contact B&B ARMR and we will gladly work with you to correct them.

2.6 Alarm Definitions –

Continuous solid beep – Gate is moving or a Stop command is active 5sec On, 1sec Off – MaxRun Time Error 1sec On, 1sec Off – Forward and/or Reverse Safety 0.25sec On, 0.5sec Off – Inherent Safety Error

2.7 PLC Input/Output Definitions –



Symptom Actions

Gate operator does not respond when commanded.

1. Check CONN 9 for power when command is given. 2. Check overload protector 3. Check PLC output. 4. Check that safeties are clear, and that IR Beams are aligned. 5. Check PLC input. 6. Check the +24VDC at CONN3 pins 8 and 10

Gate operator drives the gate in the incorrect direction.

1. Refer to step 4.10 of Installing and Programming the LXL Operator for setting the handing.

2. Refer to step 4.5 of Installing and Programming the LXL Operator to check for correct installation of the Limit Switch Plates.

Operator drives gate too slowly.

1. Check for any binding of the gate. 2. Check for slippage of the drive wheels. 3. Check the fluid level in the reservoir. 4. Check the quality of the hydraulic fluid. Old fluid will

become sludgy and clogging of internal filter is possible.

MAX Runtime Error

1. Check for any binding of the gate. 2. Check for slippage of the drive wheels. 3. Check the fluid level in the reservoir. 4. Check the MAX RUN TIME setting in Parameters to insure

sufficient time is set for the gate size. 5. REMEMBER – Gate only may only move 1 ft/sec

Date and time flash on the PLC.

1. Refer to step 4.11 of Installing and Programming the LXL Operator for setting the date and time. (Optional, not required to be set)

Gate does not stop automatically when encountering an obstacle.

1. Refer to step 4.15 of Installing and Programming the LXL Operator for setting the Inherent Safety.

2. Check for system pressure on Inherent Safety screen of the PLC, if no reading is evident while gate is running suspect a faulty pressure transducer.

3. Check the functionality of the safety devices. 4. Check safety device wiring, refer to sections 6 and/or 8

Operator drive wheels slip on gate and gate does not move.

1. Check for binding by disengaging the drive wheels, and ensuring that the gate rides smoothly manually.

2. Check the tension of the drive wheels, adjust as needed. 3. Check for any water or precipitation on the drive rail.

Fuses are blowing. 1. Check for incorrect incoming power to the LXL board. 2. Ensure all external devices are sending the correct voltage

to the LXL board, and that there are no shorts.

PLC says Stop/Reset activated.

1. If using an external push button, ensure that the stop button is a normally closed contact.

2. If not using an external push button, ensure there is a jumper wire between stop/reset and +24 stp/rst on CONN 3.

3. Check the connection of the wire between the J1Pin 9



Symptom Actions connector and I7 of the PLC.

4. Verify shunt is present on JP1 between pins 1 and 2. 5. Check F3.

Electric Motor turns but gate does not move.

1. Check the fluid level in the reservoir. 2. Check PLC outputs to see if Q1 turns on for an OPEN

and/or Q2 turns on for a CLOSE. 3. Disengage drive wheels and check to see if they move. 4. If drive wheels move, check for binding in the gate. 5. If drive wheels do not move, check for loose coupling

between the electric motor and pump assembly. 6. Check for voltage between COM and HYD VAL 1 and 2 on

CONN 1 of LXL board, and ensure wires connections are tight.

7. If voltage is correct, manually shift the detent in the center of the solenoid on either side of the hydraulic valve, if wheels move suspect hydraulic valve.

8. If wheels do not move after manually shifting the detent, suspect pump assembly.

9. If unit is a 3 phase unit and a new installation, reverse two of the incoming power leads.
